Arsenal's coming home.

I need to rush this post quickly and here it goes

The reason this blog is called 13th July Arsenal is because the club did a pre-season friendly in our home, Malaysia. And because all of the good names were taken.

Arsenal just announce their preseason tour 2012 tour.
1st Leg 24th July 2012 in Malaysia
2nd Leg 27th July 2012 in Beijing
3rd and final leg 29th July 2012 in Hong Kong.

Last year when the Gunners came by the attendance was around 60,000. To a stadium which can max it's capacity to 80,000
After Arsenal came by, Chelsea, Liverpool drop by as well and the organizers Maxed out the capacity. Apparently some local organizers gave out free tickets for the Chelsea game to max out the stadium, supposedly about 5,000 or more tickets. For Liverpool I got nothing to say cause they have a die hard fan base in Singapore and here in Malaysia. #Just Saying

During the Malaysia vs Arsenal game, I wore my Malaysian jersey while my friends Alfred wore his 2010/2011 Jersey, Vinod 2006/2007 and Jerome who i loaned him my old 1994/1995 Jersey. It was a carnival atmosphere, it could have been even better if our National Stadium, Bukit Jalil didn't have a running track and a divider. Cause we were quite disconnected from the action even from where we were sitting on the front row at a corner flag, where Theo took Arsenal's first corner in the early moment in the first half.

I'm excited to the upcoming game. I need to save up money to the ticket to watch the gunners back in action. Will try to get better seats, maybe behind the Malaysia/Arsenal Bench?
I only hope Man City could drop by and face Arsenal here so we Malaysian Gunners can do our own litter Poznan celebration!

This time around will be much better at least Na$ri won't be around.

I love if Arsenal bring this 23-Man Squad here.

Note, Last year the pitch at the stadium was really really really bad.
Our Football Association have been trying to make the pitch better.
But not improving much so we apologize if the pitch this time around is not up to Arsenal's Standard.

IF ANYONE FROM THE CLUB IS READING THIS. COULD THE PLAYERS PLEASE DO A LAP OF HONOR AFTER THE GAME? THANKS!

Also if any of the Arsenal Twitter heads like @YoungGunsBlog @arseblog @arsenalreport @LeGrove or others are coming by to Malaysia let us @kh4lilul @crazeemunky know we will be happy to show you guys around Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
